Hi Ray, what's Mr Tobacco's signal in Western France?  He peaked at S9 +30 db here in N England.  I wonder how much power he's using and his antenna?  It's an impressive signal

Interesting, Ray, Maybe I got a really strong signal here because of a) local propagation b) his antenna set up favours my direction
